ARC'TERYX Jonathan Siegrist - 24-Karats, 5.14c 

10 years later and still a classic send

I love how he climbed the entire route without chalking his hands, instead just wiping them on his pants and blowing on them, and then chalks up to fist bump the person behind the camera at the anchors!

This was unbelievable, way more interesting to watch than some of the harder climbs on youtube. I definitely agree with the comments, he really made that look beautiful.

Jonathan siegrist is my favorite climber and is extremely inspiring to me. I'd love to see him come down for rocktoberfest in 2014. There's a whole new area opening up and I think it would be cool to see him come and put up some more hard lines.

Haha, thanks for the response - and I was one step ahead! I recognized him and gave him a shout and it was a delightfully pleasant experience for sure

Jonathan is a BEAST. Absolutely amazing climbing, his control and technique are amazing.

This is one of my favourite things about climbing: Finding a cool route or problem near your limit, then wiring in the sequence so that the send ends up being really clean. Honestly it's no surprise that he made it look so clean, the holds are small and fingery enough that there's not much room to muscle through it, it's the kind of climb that requires a lot of technique and precision. You can see in the crux section how he adjusts his grip on every hold until it's just right before moving off.

I like how he clips the anchor then chalks up again

That's awesome. Make sure you say hi to JStar for us the next time you see him at the gym - he's a great guy.

Hey, this route is a great example that this distinction is needed! Red Point here means adding some mental value to the technical problem! Great climb anyway, props!

jonathan's line's may not be the hardest climbs out there today (even though anything is the 14 range is mental and ill never get close to that grade) but he has a better eye for beautiful lines then any other climber I've come across. great style, perfect movement, beautiful lines. I would rather watch him climb any day of the week over anyone else climbing 5.15 whatever.

Deadpoint at 1:59 looks heartbreaking

props to using el-p as the background music!

i see this guy at the gym occasionally, where he looks like a typical, pretty damn strong boulderer. But to then see him climb this route goes to show how badly gym climbing/bouldering ability represents sport climbing skill. he turns into a different kind of beast here! beautiful line climbed with strength and style, heavy props to JS!

Technically yes, but most people don't make that distinction anymore. The term "pink-pointing" has become obsolete. I'm just throwing a number out here, but I'd guess that about 99% of all hard sport climbing routes are "redpointed" with the quickdraws in place nowadays. ^SM

@aaronofgray agreed! I love how it was so uneventful and he pulled it with the ring finger...

Never seen anyone climb so clean on such a hard route.

really beautiful route i really liked it

AMAZING... beautiful climbing

i cant restist any more just watching these awsome climbing videos....I WANNA FUCKING CLIMB THEM!!!

I did hear him mention something once in passing about "spidey senses" ...

that was awesome, 2:37 first time I have ever seen a single index finger used (usually middle).

Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't pink pointing, or at least shouldn't it, really only have to do with trad-climbing where the ethics and technique behind how you place your pro is important?

At 3:05 why does he clip with the rope around the inside of his right arm and not the outside? Seems like the outside would be more efficient...

This resolution hurts my eyes, it's like 1995 all over again

awesome!

audio starting at 0:45 is the same track the alarm clock app on my computer uses -- wuuuuuaaaaaooooohhhh

2:06 is unbelievable

wish this was higher than 480p....

did anyone else notice that he readjusts on every single hold?

what a beautiful rock

こういう画像を視てると、いま登ってるひとよりも、この壁に初めてピトンを打ってルート開拓したひとがすごいなと思ってしまいます。

Does he climb at The Hive?

BEAST

That crux looked very hard

the finger hole at 2:37 is ridiculous...

holy crap.

Guys.. he's holding on with one finger at 2:35

just doesn't look like a 5.14+ to me....have my doubts though i realize i would have to see it

"Fingery. Heh heh"

he technically pink pointed this route right?

big!!!!!!

2:35 Why ring-finger?

OMG vouts😊

3:16 goes to pinky mono holds it and move right hand to shitty three finger slit. omfg.

Wow

looks like a couple extra bolts in there huh

those holds looked tiny and painful.

My mind: FALL FALL FALL FALL! me on the outside: OMFG !!!

Single FINGER POCKET!? So jelly.

Um that's...um...wow...

Speciale..

Nvm it's more efficient

Fingry haehae :)
